But sharp looking vehicle. From the looks of things, the production model will be almost identicle to the latest concepts. Just take a look at the camaro, didnt change much at all. Speaking of, I saw a camaro sitting next to a challenger in the JCpenny parking lot the other day, lol, the camaro spanks the challenger side by side, sorry chrysler. At any rate, it looks up for GM, theyre putting out some nice vehicles, honda and toyota should be a little worried about the cruze. Yes lame name, i agree. But sharp looking vehicle.

Why name a car after some faggot actor? Will he get residuals/royalties? The concept looks great but I am sure the production model will look mediocre. I hope for the best for GM. Its just that they seem to miss on the minor details. Cruze... what a lame name. The focus groups are off the mark on this... way out. Who names these cars? Why name a car after some faggot actor?

The concept Cruze looks great. So... I was wondering, why do the concept cars always look great and then the production cars look like junk? Make the production car look that great, people will buy them. Cruze, as a gas powered sister (fraternal twin?) to the now famous Volt, being built on the same platform, we know they are going to look similiar (at the least) or perhaps the same. Is it 2010 yet? I want to buy an American made Volt today. Hope it looks this good or better - is fun to drive - and delivers on it's promises. Nice! The concept Cruze looks great.

Take a look at the new Peugeot 308 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_308), achieving mixed 75MPG on stock model. Still, it's a step in the good direction. 40MPG isn’t that much considering what Europeans manufacturers sell.

It is a timid half-measure and should be dropped. The 2008 Prius is officially rated 48/45, and it seems to be as large or larger, in terms of front driver & passenger space, than this thing. (Like many Prius drivers, I actually achieve substantially better than the EPA, a bit over 50 mpg combined so far.) If we're serious about reducing air pollution & dependence on foreign oil, we will entirely stop manufacturing or buying vehicles that have only internal-combustion engines. NOW. Even "regular" hybrids aren't enough. We can and should do better, very soon: plug-in hybrids that have a modest all-electric range. More proof, if any were needed, that GM is behind the times. The Volt may save GM (and the economy of my home state, Michigan), but THIS vehicle sure as hell won't. p.s. For those who insist on buying only American-assembled vehicles -- which I admire -- the Prius will be assembled in the USA starting in 2010. (New plant being built in Mississippi.) There will no longer be any need to buy a less-than-adequate Ford or GM vehicle in order to support American manufacturing workers & shareholders. This is not a useful concept.
